NTUC Choice Homes sold another 50 units at its ToaPayoh condo Trevista over the weekend, taking the total number of units soldthere to 460. The remaining units at the 590-unit condo are mainly larger ones – continuing a trend where buyers snap up smaller homes.
Trevista attracted hordes of keen buyers and onlookers at its preview two weekends ago. It sold out 210 units in one afternoon, on the firstpreview day of Aug 28. Most of the unsold units at the 99-year leasehold project are the three- and four-bedroom units.
An NTUC Choice Homes spokesman said there are just ‘a handful’ of two-bedroom units left for sale. The 39-storey condo was previewed at an average price of $898 per sq ft. At that time, the three- and four-bedroom units averaged $1.065 million and $1.43 million respectively, under the normal payment scheme. Now, the remaining three-bedders are priced from $1.008 million. They cost $884 psf to$1,050 psf. The four-bedders are priced from $850 psf to $964 psf, or from $1.448 million.
Elsewhere, sales are still ongoing at current launches. For instance, developer Keppel Land has now sold 37 out of 56 units at Madison Residences in Bukit Timah Road at an average price of $1,700 psf, after selling another unit over the weekend. The project was launched in the middle of last month, after a brief preview.
The market was generally quieter over the past weekend, compared with the previous one. Property agents said one factor might be people going away for the school holidays. Also, they said some price resistance may be setting in, particularly at projects subject to recent price rises.
Next week, The Trizon at Mount Sinai, which has sold at least 110 units, will be launched. The project
was previewed late last month at $1,300 psf to $1,500 psf.
Next month, the 1,040-unit The Interlace in Alexandra Road will be launched. Other possible launches this year include the 119-unit Elliot at The East Coast and a 396-unit condo on the former Hong Leong Gardens site in West Coast.
